The Regulations Awareness Programme - or the RAP - is a planned approach to the education of Park visitors and for raising awareness of the do’s and don’ts within the Park.
The RAP is based upon the implementation of the Wellington Park Regulations 1999, and provides a mechanism for the care, control and management of the Park. The RAP is co-ordinated by the Ranger for Wellington Park in co-operation with staff from the various Trust member agencies and Tasmania Police.
Essentially, the role of the Ranger is to talk to people and to ensure that they have a good understanding of Park management issues. Pro-active education is also undertaken with owners of land adjoining Wellington Park, and with key stakeholder and community groups. The Ranger also co-ordinates and monitors the activities of employees of Trust member agencies who have been appointed as Authorised Officers.
